Like to make a suggestion which would be very helpful and possibly increase end game player satisfaction. At the beginning of the fight you encounter three Imperial Siege Droids. The droids cast Calibrating Shot which increases damage they do, increases their accuracy and reduces the damage they take. Therefore, it's vital the cast is interrupted every time. In the scenario I'd like to talk about, a Shadow Tank is paired with a Sentinel and they alternate interrupts. If Calibrating Shot is interrupted by the Shadow at 75% or greater of the cast in progress, the Shadow with a 12 second cool down on Mind Snap would not be able to interrupt the third cast. The Shadow would still have about 0.9 seconds of remaining cool down by the end of the third cast. I've tested this in game and timed it with a stop watch. Given some uncontrollable factors such as acceptable latency for a packet to travel between nodes over the Internet, time for a computer to process a command and average human reaction time, I'm assuming the total cast time of Calibrating Shot is designed to allow for any class to interrupt it at any point during the total cast time. I do also recognize not everyone experiences this issue. It could be because economics create a wide variety of incomes to afford the best or lesser available gaming equipment. It could be because Internet Service Provider businesses offer varying levels of service which limit availability of bandwidth depending on sales in some areas. It could be because not every person has the best reaction time which may or may not be limited by disability. Therefore, my humble suggestion is to increase the time between Calibrating Shot casts by 0.5 seconds. This would result in a total yield of an additional 1.0 second between the first and third casts. It would compensate for the above scenario and allow for a wider audience of players to be paired up and alternate interrupts. Ultimately, completing the operation successfully.

Randomly when fighting The Thing from the Stars, or final stage of SOA, the boss will vanish-cannot target. What's going on? While the boss is not visible to me I am not able to target it even by looking for the target of target of the main tank. With The Thing from the Stars after fight is complete and Nightmare Pilgrim is dead you loot from the Pilgrim. But with SOA fight I am unable to loot SOA for commendations following completion of the fight. I determined to loot the boss I must exit the operation then re-enter it. After re-entering I can see the dead boss and loot it successfully. Another interesting fact with the The Thing from the Stars, during our encounter with this boss we died three times. The first time I was able to see the boss throughout the fight down to 12% when we died. The second time it vanished at only 90% and I had to swap and tank the Pilgrim. The third time I was able to tank the boss to death with no visibility issue at all. I've reported this issue multiple times over the past 8 months using in game support tickets. Always they have closed the ticket saying they cannot help with anything other than class missions. I really don't understand that response at all. I've also reported it as a bug but they close that ticket too saying it can't be tracked once submitted. So, it's still unresolved and I know other folks who have this same problem. Additional information: 1. I pretty much run the repair just for kicks every time I have some sort of issue. It doesn't really take long and support has advised me to do that on other occasions. So I just do it. But it has never resolved any issue I reported to support. 2. SOA phase is on the ground in last phase. I see him before he drops but as he drops he vanishes. It doesn't always do this, just from time to time. 3. The Thing from the Stars fight. The next time this happens I will try the AOE thing to see if it causes it to re-appear. 4. Using target of target on another player does not work if the boss has vanished. Basically the target of target window will not display at all, even when focused or clicked on another player who is actually in combat with it.

I am willing to pay. I just don't see them to buy. I would like to see them available at the PVE vendors.

I am monitoring this thread for a response from SWTOR folks. I have the same questions.

Yup, so I opened a CS ticket in game and no response to that either. Why is SWTOR not responding?

What is the yellow eye or red pentagon in between the health and resource bar?
